Norway improves market access for developing countries
The Norwegian Government has implemented several improvements to its General System
of Preferences (GSP), with effect from 1 January 2013.
The GSP system has been revised several times since it was established in 1971. Duty-free and
quota-free market access for all products from Least Developed Countries was introduced in
2002. In 2008 duty and quota free market access was extended to include 14 low-income
countries in addition to the 50 LDCs already included.
In 2011, the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs (NUPI) (www.nupi.no) carried out a
study of the GSP system. In the first half of 2012, an inter-ministerial working group made their
recommendations regarding the new GSP system. The working group’s report is available in
English here. The recommendations were endorsed by the Government and adopted by
Parliament, and implemented on 1 January 2013.
The most extensive change under the recent revision is to establish a new category of countries:
lower middle income countries [1] with a population of less than 75 million people. This group
of countries, named the “GSP plus”, is granted better market access than the ordinary GSP
countries. On the other hand, “GSP plus” countries are not granted duty free and market free
access along the same lines as the least developed and low income countries.
One of the intentions behind the establishment of the “GSP plus” group is to soften the transition
for countries graduating (“moving up”) from the low income country group, where they had free
access to the Norwegian market, to the middle income country group where ordinary GSP
preferences apply.
“GSP plus” countries are eligible to duty-free market access for all industrial goods. With regard
to agriculture, these countries are granted full market access for an additional list of 51 specific
goods, and a 50 % tariff reduction for an additional 15 goods. For more details, see the
Directorate of Customs and Excise website: GSP - Generalized System of Preference.
The NUPI study made it very clear that imports to Norway from the poorest countries are limited
in spite of the generous market access granted to these countries. There are, however, some
success stories, such as cut flowers from Kenya and Ethiopia, honey from Ethiopia and Zambia,
and sugar snaps from Guatemala.
Competitiveness depends on many factors, such as production facilities, efficient transport and
public infrastructure, just to mention a few. Against this backdrop, trade related aid, good
governance, support for infrastructure development and investments are crucial. Therefore,
efforts in these areas must be strengthened in order to increase exports from the poorest countries
to Norway- and other markets. The Government’s Action Plan for Aid for Trade is under
revision.

GSP - Generalized System of Preference
Updated: 1/17/2013
The Norwegian GSP-scheme provides exporters from developing countries duty relief when
exporting goods to Norway. On this site you can find out if your products qualify for duty free
import or reduced duty rates.
The GSP-scheme has been implemented for about 90 countries and territories, of which 35 are
ranked among the Least Developed Countries (LDCs). LDCs benefit from more preferential
treatment than other countries included in the system, the so-called GSP+ or ordinary GSP-
countries.
Find out if your country has implemented the GSP-scheme
Note: in order for a product to be granted preferential tariff rates, certain standards must be met.
Read about the conditions for preferential treatment
These goods are included in the system
All goods exported from an LDC are duty free when imported into Norway. GSP+ will receive a
better offer than the ordinary GSP-countries. You will get duty free access for goods under
Chapters 61-63, as well as 50 per cent and 100 per cent duty free access for certain agricultual
goods.
For the other developing countries included in the system (ordinary GSP-countries), goods
sorting under Chapters 25-97 in the Norwegian Customs Tarif are duty free, with the exception
of certain textiles in Chapters 61-63. For agricultural products, regular duty rates are reduced by
10 to 100 per cent. Below you can find out which goods are included in the system and the tariff
preference they are granted.

Quotas for agriculture products
There are two types of quotas that apply within the GSP-scheme.
WTO-quota
For GSP+ and ordinary GSP-countries, a 30 per cent reduction of the regular tariff is granted
when importing within the global WTO-quota. See List 6 above.
Tariff free quota
Producers in Botswana and Namibia are granted an annual tariff free quota of 2700 tons of meat
from bovine animals (fresh, chilled and frozen boneless meat). For producers in Swaziland the
quota is set at 500 tons.
• This applies for commodity codes 02.01.3001, 02.01.3009, 02.02.3001 and 02.02.3009
Producers in Botswana, Namibia and Swaziland are granted an annual tariff free quota of 400
tons of meat from sheep and lamb.
• This applies for commodity codes 02.04.1000 - 02.04.4300.
In additional it is granted an annual quota of 500 tons of meat from bovine animals from GSP+
and ordinary GSP-countries. The duty rate is fixed at 107,11 kroner per kg.
• This applies for commodity codes 02.01.3001 and 02.02.3001.
All quotas are issued on a first come, first serve basis.
The Direct Transport Rule
As a rule, goods shall be transported directly from the GSP-country in question to Norway upon
request by an identified Norwegian importer (a Norwegian consignee). However, goods may be
transported through one or more other countries on the condition that they have remained under
customs surveillance during transit or storage. Further, when shipping GSP-products through the
European Community or Switzerland, re-exportation of GSP-products, either as a whole or split
consignment, is also allowed. As such, in order to save transport costs, whole shiploads may be
shipped from a GSP-country to a central store in the European Community for later distribution
to other consignees in Europe.
List of working or processing rules
This list describes the processing or manufacture required to be carried out on non-originating
materials in order that the product manufactured can obtain origin status. The first two columns
in the list describe the product obtained. The working or processing required by a rule in column
3 needs to be carried out only in relation to the non-originating materials used.
Please take note that this list contains goods that are not a part of the specific product coverage.

Proof of origin
Page 4 of 6
To obtain GSP preferential treatment for a product on importation to Norway, the originating
status must be proven by a satisfactory Proof of Origin - either Form A or an Origin Declaration.
You must fill out Form A satisfactorily in either English or French. It must be certified by the
customs authorities or other competent bodies in your country. In cases of uncertainty regarding
preferential treatment, the Proof of Origin will be returned to the GSP-country for verification. If
no reply is given, normal duty rates will be applied.
This is how you obtain preferential treatment
Published: 12/20/2012
As a rule, a product must be either wholly obtained or sufficient processed in a GSP-country in
order to achieve originating status and in turn preferential treatment. Goods containing non-
originating products may thus obtain tariff treatment is satisfying certain criteria regarding the
level of processing.
There are however exceptions to the general rule. These are outlined below.
Wholly obtained products
The products which are considered to be "wholly obtained" in an GSP-country are mainly
products from agriculture, hunting and fishing, mineral products extracted form the soil or
seabed of the country concerned and products from sea fishing etc. The products are defined in
the Customs Regulation §§ 8-4-32 and 8-4-4.
Sufficiently worked or processed products
As a main rule, a product is considered to be sufficiently worked or processed when all the non-
originating materials used in the production in the GSP-country concerned are classified in a HS
tariff heading (first four digits) different from the tariff heading of the product to be exported.
The input materials have changed position in the HS, and hence their tariff classification.
However, if the product obtained is referred to in columns 1 and 2 of the "List of working and
processing operations," (product-specific rules or "list-rules"), the specific rules laid down for the
individual product in the list shall apply when determining level of processing instead of the
general rule of change in tariff classification. A product mentioned here is thus considered as
being sufficiently worked or processed when all the conditions laid down for the product
concerned in column(s) 3 and/or 4 are satisfied. The list of processing operations also includes a
set of Introductory Notes.
Exception I: the tolerance rule
From the main requirements outlined above, i.e. change in tariff classification and terms laid
down in processing operations, exceptions are made for small quantities of non-originating
materials for which the value does not exceed 10% (or 15?) of the ex-works price of the product.
Please note: the tolerance rule does not apply however for textile products of HS-chapters 50-63.
Also, the rule is not applicable in such a manner that a maximum limitation of the value of non-
originating materials allowed, as laid down for a product in the list of product-specific rules, is
exceeded.
Exception II: insufficient working or processing
Page 5 of 6
A number of simple operations, referred to as "minimal operations," are considered to be
insufficient working or processing. A product which has been subjected to only one or more of
these insufficient processes will not – single or taken together - obtain originating status even if it
satisfies the change of tariff classification rule or any percentage rule for the product in the List
of product-specific rules.
Exception III: cumulation
Cumulation of origin allows an exporter in a GSP-country to make use of materials with
originating status imported from another GSP-approved country in a production process,
contrary to the main requirements regarding change in tariff classification or possible "list rules"
outlined above.
In the Norwegian GSP-scheme, the three following types of cumulation are provided for:
• Regional cumulation
• Bilateral cumulation
• Diagonal cumulation
Regional cumulation
This refers to the possibility of cumulation of origin between developing countries forming
regional economic groups. This provision makes it possible for a GSP-country to cumulate with
originating materials from another country within the same regional economic group.
As of October 2012, regional cumulation is implemented for the ASEAN economic group,
allowing cumulation of origin between Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar,
Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
Please note: a precondition for the use of regional cumulation that the trade in such materials
between countries concerned is governed by rules of origin identical to those laid down in the
Norwegian GSP-system. Further, it is a requirement that GSP-countries wishing to benefit from
such regional cumulation have been authorised by Norwegian authorities in advance.
Bilateral cumulation
Makes it possible to use, without restrictions, Norwegian originating materials and input-
products in the production process in a GSP-country, in the same manner as materials from the
GSP-country itself, when the finished product is exported to Norway. This means, in practical
terms, that materials used in the production in a GSP-country and having "originating status"
from the GSP-country concerned or from Norway, can be used without restrictions with regards
to production criteria that may apply for finished products or any specific requirements laid
down for the product in the List of product-specific rules.
Please note: when making use of Norwegian materials in the production in a GSP-country for
cumulation purposes, originating status must be documented by an origin declaration issued by
the Norwegian exporter in question in order to obtain preferential treatment.
Diagonal cumulation (with the European Community and Switzerland)
Makes it possible to use materials and input-products originating in Norway, the European Union
or Switzerland in addition to the GSP-country itself, in goods produced in a GSP-country, when
the final product is exported to either Norway, the European Community or Switzerland. As with
Page 6 of 6
bilateral cumulation, restrictions with regards to production criteria that may apply for finished
products or any specific requirements laid down for the product in the List of product-specific
rules do not apply. The final product may be exported as a GSP-originating product to Norway,
the European Community or Switzerland.
Please note: all commodities classified under chapters 1-24 in the HS nomenclature are excluded
from this cumulation arrangement. As with bilateral cumulation, originating status must be
documented by an origin declaration issued by the Norwegian exporter in question in order to
obtain preferential treatment.
Qualifying units
When considering the originating status of a product, each product unit must be assessed
individually. Concerning a shipment of goods, the rules of origin requirements must be fulfilled
for each individual product. It is thus not allowed to consider the whole shipment as a single unit,
except in cases where the HS nomenclature classifies a group, ser or assembly of products as one
unit under a single tariff heading.
• Packing materials, which are included with the product for classification purposes, shall be
included (as in cases of other materials and parts) when determining the originating status of a
product.
• Accessories, spare parts and tools, constituting standard equipment dispatched with the product
and included in the price, shall form an integral part of the product concerned (the main
product).
• Sets, as defined in the General Interpretative Rules of the HS-nomenclature, are considered to
be originating in a GSP-country if all the components of the set are originating products.
Alternatively, a set is also considered as originating in a GSP-country if the value of all non-
originating materials (components) used do not exceed 15% of the ex-works price of the set.
• "Neutral elements", such as energy, fuel, machinery and tools, used during the production, or
materials/ingredients which are not entering or incorporated in the final product and which are
not intended to be so, shall not be taken into consideration when assessing the originating status
of a product.
